Bird's Eye Llama Shawl-Multiple Colors

Handspun and handwoven Bird's Eye Llama Shawl made in La Quebrada y Puna, Jujuy, Argentina by Omaguaca weavers. Both natural colors and natural dyes are used. In Quechua, Omaguaca means "place of the sacred water." Omaguaca weavers use creole four pedal looms to create the variety of designs known locally as ojo de perdiz (bird's eye) faz y trama (basic weave), espiga (chevron), and Barracan (basketweave).
